The 2023 MercedesAMG EQE53 brings more speed than excitement:
—such is the state of the current EV race when the EQE53's claimed 3.2-second run to 60 mph is merely a midpack figure in its segment.
The 53's chassis does a fine job of handling both its power and considerable tonnage. A big chunk of its mass comes from the low-mounted 90.6-kWh battery pack, and the car's ground-hugging center of gravity can be felt in its willingness to change direction and a marked lack of body roll. Still, despite good overall balance and huge amounts of grip from Michelin Pilot Sport 4S summer tires, the EQE53's bulk is obvious in tighter corners.
Our test car also featured the optional carbon-ceramic brake package, which is reassuringly powerful yet seems a bit unnecessary given the car's ability to harvest up to 260 kW through its motors under regenerative braking. There are three levels of regen that can be selected via paddles behind the steering wheel, the weakest of which allowing the car to coast when you let off the accelerator while the strongest equates to a one-pedal driving mode.
